University of Bath, 2016/2017

​

I encouraged my group to adopt a creative approach, backed by apt structural understanding, to design a cost-effective timber bridge that connected two buildings on campus. Together, we analysed the load paths through a fixed arch, acting in tension, held by a timber truss system with members acting in compression.

 

However, looking back at this design, I have identified areas for improvement such as:

• Connecting diagonals to the deck instead of the light-weight roof

• Fixed end connections
